The committee appointed by Major Drownell and the City Council to re vise the charter so as to provide a commission form of government or a 'business form of government" It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to make the differentiation Is working In accordance with the suggestion of .hTio lahe7d."U rVt7u o'nd meeting which waa held Thursday evening, the committee discussed var loua plans of city government, but nothing waa suggested except in a preliminary way. . . . , George A. Herding, Chairman of the Committee Appointed te Revise the City. Charter,. . V Chairman Harding called the meet ing to order and the other members present were Messrs. 8tlpp, Andre sen, Schuebel, Stevens and Tooze. Among the citizens present who made sugges tions were Messrs. U'Ren, Caufleld and Bhewman. Mr. Schuebel thought that 'the committee In order to ar rive at a working basis should deter mine aa soon as possible whether it favored the commission form of gov ernment or a "business management The business management plan con- jslsts of having the affairs of the municipality governed the same aa the business of a corporation. Under the commission form there might be three commissioners, each having charge of a department of the city. Under the buslnesa, or corporation form, the city council would, act in the same capac ity aa the board of directors of a bi business, with the mayor occupying the same position aa the chairman or the board of directors. Mr. Schuebel did not say he favored either of these plans, but he merely suggested them as a working basis. Llvy Stipp, Secretary of the Commit tee, Appointed to Revise tne i'ty Charter. Mr. Stipp said there was a sent! ment that authority ahould be con centrated In as few hands as possible; that one man or more should be given authority and they should be held responsible for their acts. He de clared that under the present charter the mayor had little authority, and conseauently there was no one to hold resnnnaible. Tha mayor makes the appointments but they must be an oroved br the council, and the ap pointees cannot be removed without cause. E. O. Caufleld. one ot the framers of the present charter, and former mayor, opposed the appointment of three commissioners on salaries. He said there was not enough business tn luatlfv the expenditure. He sua gesiea 1011 ini " j to appoint a DUSiness manager. ui city, who would give his entire time to the ""work, and If he did not prove satisfactory be could bet removed at once. Mr. Caufleld said that when be was mayor he could have used a busi ness manager to great advantage. It thought It would be better to let tne mayor appoint a business manager, and declared that It made no differ ence whether the appointee lived In this city or elsewhere.

They are re garded aa exorbitant Major Mclndoe will not discuss details of hla recom mendations to the Secretary of War, to whom the claims will be given for perusal, nor as to other featurea of hla report on the negotiations so tar con ducted, but it Is not believed that the Government will accept right of way at the prices sought If the Secretary of War decldea that the new locka -S5U JSS wJU assort to condemnation. The principal purpose of the meet ing was for the state officials to famlllarixe themselves with Major Mc Indoe'a data and reports from subor dinates on parts of the project" 85 far the Government Is not in favor of rehabilitating the old locka, though tthe .price of the Portland Railway, ght & Power Company ls lowered the rebuilding might be given more favorable consideration.
